But does a 3 month old bull have what it takes?

Somehow I don't doubt that! (lol)

But a 4 month old bull... Jeez! I guess boys will be boys!

But is it possible for a 4 month old bull calf to breed? You would think he is shooting blanks, if anything at all, at that age!

Unless I have some REALLY fertile calves, I am not worried about the boys. I only have two, and one if four months old the other is 2 months. I have had them on hay and grain because we live in Texas, and due to the drought, have not had any grazing.

Are you saying to use lutalyse in the event that she did get bred? The boys could not get the job done.....

No angus in her. She is a register shorthorn. Thanks for the info!

We have a 6 month old Gus heifer. Three weeks ago I noticed mucus by her tail, but did not think anything about it. Two days ago I, again, noticed mucus and the boys were following her around, jumping her. Today there was blood on her tail. Is it possible that she is having heat cycles at 6...

How far are you talking about hauling them would be my question - a few hours or a lot further? We try to move ours a month before calving, but usually it ends up happening a week before for some reason. We have not had any problems, but we are just hauling two hours away. We normally put the...

The Schneider's in Boerne have some great Brahman's. You can look on their website www.schneiderbrahmans.com for pictures. They are really nice people to deal with.

glw - it might help if you tell us if you are looking for a heifer or steer and what breed you are looking for. Thanks!

Just a word of caution about tying them.  Keep an eye on them. You never know how they will react. A friend of mine had a steer lay down and ended up dying. A lot depends on how wild they are!

How big are your steers? We like to put a halter on them and let them walk around with it on to get them used to the pressure when they step on the rope end. We put them in a small pen and drop feed in a pan and sit and wait for them to come to the feed. As they learn to trust you, you can grab...

If you are trying to grow hair, MTG works really well.

Anybody???

So, as usual, I have waited until the last minute to decide who to breed one of our cows to. She is out of Pacer and Phildon XS cow. This is not a great picture, but that is her 2 month old Gus heifer beside her. My semen choices are: Ace of Diamonds, Salute, Kaboom, Gus, Smooth Criminal...

We also give some oral B-12 to stimulate appetite.

Is your steer in a pen by himself? Sometimes putting another steer or heifer in makes them compete for feed. <cowboy> Good luck!

When the Christmas parade consists of flatbed trailers, using hay bales for seats and being pulled by dually's. The feed store still hand writes their receipts and keeps the money in a coffee can behind the desk. You can ride your horse through the drive thru at the bank or tie them up at the...

My bull has been vaccinated, but I guess he could still pick something up from the cows??
